Pub macaroni cheese recipe?

[OnyK]

Dd rightfully says that the local pub does a better macaroni cheese than I cook. Does anyone have a fail safe recipe for a really tasty, cheesy sauce? I use 1 pt of milk and 6oz/150g of good, strong cheddar.
I've even tried packet mixes etc. in case they taste better!

Brilliant tips here.
I sprinkle some bacon salad crispies on top of mine along with fried onion salad crispies. Yum.

Don't use a roux. Use evaporated milk instead. Google Dad Cooks Dinner Macaroni and Cheese (needs a pressure cooker) or the Serious Eats recipe.

Use a really strong cheddar.
